Poll winner!
Added 2019-07-31 18:35:12 +0000 UTCHot dang! This is one of our closest polls ever between *all four choices*! But we nonetheless do have a winner, airing end of 2019/beginning of 2020:
Policing London: Thief-Takers to Scotland Yard
In 1700, Britain's criminal justice system was deeply dysfunctional—and nowhere more than London. With no police force, bounty hunters patrolled its streets. Its private prisons were so inadequate, the government was shipping prisoners to faraway colonies or holding them on ships in the Thames. But within a century and a half, that would change. This series looks at the development of British policing through the lens of London, including the rise and fall of Jonathan Wild (who was the city's chief law enforcement officer and its underworld kingpin), public hangings at Tyburn, the Bow Street Runners, right through to Scotland Yard.

HUZZAH ~ EH returns to English History! But, as I said before, you'd better include many Sherlock Holmes references. Maybe you should do a Poll specifically for well Known subjects that didn't win first time around.
